Did you copy over your products/ directory as-is?

Some tables are always kept in GDBM, including variable.txt where
MySQL connection settings are defined.

If you have copied *.gdbm files over to the new server and the
system architecture does not match, IC will see dbm files there and
try to open them, but will not succeed (due to binary format
incompatibility).

So what you should do is delete all *dbm files in products/ to 
cause their regeneration; and then see if it works.

cd CATALOG
rm products/*dbm
interchange -r
